ORDER GRANTING PETITION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS IN PART (DKT. 1 ). The Court GRANTS the petition and ORDERS: 1) The Court finds that petitioner is detained under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) and is not subject to mandatory detention under 8 U.S.C . § 1225(b). 2) Respondents SHALL immediately release petitioner from custody within 24 hours of the filing of this Order.3) Petitioner is entitled to notice and a pre-deprivation hearing at which a neutral decision-mak er must determine before petitioner's arrest and detention -- whether there is any valid basis for arrest and detention, i.e., whether he poses a danger to the community or a flight risk that can only be mitigated through detention. This hearin g must comply with the due process requirements of Singh v. Holder, including that the "the government must prove by clear and convincing evidence that an alien is a flight risk or a danger to the community to justify denial of bond" and th at the hearing must have "a contemporaneous record." 638 F.3d 1196, 1203, 1208 (9th Cir. 2011). If a non-citizen has been "determined not to be a danger to the community, and not to be so great a flight risk as to require detention wit hout bond," due process requires the immigration court to consider financial circumstances regarding ability to afford to pay bail, and alternative conditions of release. Hernandez v. Sessions, 872 F.3d 976, 991-994 (9th Cir. 2017); see also Men doza, 2026 WL 927654 at *1.4) No later than two business days following petitioner's release, respondents must file with the Court a declaration confirming the date and time petitioner was released from custody.5) The Court will consider any post-judgment motion for attorney's fees, as requested in the petition. Signed by Judge Theresa L Fricke. (BKP)
